D11 - The start of the second week of veg. The girl isn't very tall yet but she is looking healthy and vibrant, and I think it is fair to say at this point that this soil is just fine. I just got unlucky with bad seeds. Oh, well. Upwards and onwards!
D14 - The girl is growing along nicely. Still low but is starting to spread out. I also trimmed the cover crop.
D17 - The last day in week two of veg. She is slowly outgrowing her cup, and I'm going to transplant her next week.
@BigDaddyK, Hmmmm... you could very well be correct as this is the first time I grow in such small pots, and I'm not used to how fast they dry up. I'll water her a bit more frequently and see if it helps. Cheers for the tip.
@SeedsNStems, Sure thing! I used 60 grams of chili flakes and soaked them in 500 ml 60% ethanol for about two hours, stirring now and then, before finally straining it through a coffee filter. This base tincture needs to be diluted to 1:10 when using it. I put around 50 ml of the tincture in a small spray bottle and then added 450 ml of distilled water. Check out my CBD Nordle diary for some pics.

@love_2_grow,
I think mint is good lavender maybe I am Lucy my shop is surrounded in Box Elder bugs they keep most everyting at bay LOL except the dam spider mites on my Fruit Slap only one they like probably need to get rid it the honeysuckle out side my veg room
@amazongrow, Well, she is a project of sorts in that way that it is the first time I tried transplanting an auto, it is the first time I use this particular soil blend that I made, and the first time I grow in such small containers. Clearly, I must have stunted her in some way. Someone suggested that underwatering might have been the issue, which might be the case since I'm not used to these small pots. We live and learn ;)
@love_2_grow, I thought it was a pet project or something... back in the days I use to do that with some pruned branches =)
she is lovely though =)
congrats
